At 100 PM EST (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Sara was
located by Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft near latitude
15.7 North, longitude 82.9 West. The system is moving toward the
west near 12 mph (19 km/h). This motion should continue through
today, bringing the center near the coast of eastern Honduras. The
system is expected to meander near the northern coast of Honduras
late Friday and through the weekend.
Data from the Air Force Reserve aircraft indicate that the maximum
sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some strengthening is possible, if the system remains over
